korgul is on a distinguished road

Ok I was sitting here thinking about this today. We all know that the wording for years is, AD means "After Death" and BC means "Before Christ". Right,
So here is one of my questions. How old was christ when he died?
For purpose of example I will say 30 yrs old.
So the day he died started the AD, right?
Ok with me so far, now the day before he was born and before that is known as BC, right.
So what about the years he was alive? Are they counted? What are they know as?

My wife says that he did not become known as christ until like 3 months before he died. Is this correct? I say that the day before he was born is known as BC, during his life is known as ? and after his death is AD.

My reasoning: if the BC starts when he died then how can it be before christ. If AD starts when he was born then how can it be After Death.
